I Look Good Today!

Brave

Since moving to Los Angeles I’ve (almost) constantly found myself way over my head. I won’t lie, I’ve never been more scared & overwhelmed. These moments of self-doubt & fear or living-in-the-not-knowing (thanks Don Draper) have taught me what bravery is. It’s the ability to accept the reality we are in, good or bad, and continue to see the good in yourself and in others.

Don’t Kill my Vibe

I’ve spent a lot of time with friends talking about creative process. We all have our own point of view, our own methods and opinion on what we believe is truly creative. At the end of the day I’m realizing that honesty is the most creative attribute. Do what you want, the way you want it. It may not be “Correct” but it won’t go unnoticed.

Don’t Quit

As a designer/creative failure is not just an option but an essential part of the creative process. If I’m not failing I’m not really trying. I would love to provide a sure fire formula for getting rid of the discomfort. All I can say is that the career of a freelance designer is anything but safe and predictable. In the end I was surprised to learn that really failing is not all that bad. After failure… I’m still here. That is probably one of the best feelings I’ve had this year. Being strong when everything goes wrong actually feels really good. It’s worth the risk.
